I got mine mk808 yesterday. I bought a mk802 in august but it "burned" after 1 week. I also think that the mk802 was very laggish... The mk808 is far much better!!!
So far I am very very very happy with it!

I got mine today. I ordered it over a week ago. Weird because I didn't get my shipping information until last night, and when I tracked it, it was already out for delivery.
My Measy Air Mouse R11 is screwed though I think. It keeps sliding to the left hand side. I even tried on my PC and it does the same thing. I've tried to resync it and screw with it, but it keeps moving. Very hard to use a mouse that doesn't stay still. The MK808 is fun. I just got it tonight. I haven't had the time to get really crazy with it. Seems to run ok and would be far more enjoyable with a good input device.
Ordered mine today (only $60), if it really works as reviews say, it's quite a bargain
Do you still have problems with the rc11 or are they solved ?

I fixed my Measy Air Mouse R11.
To reset the Gyros, you lay it flat and press and hold LEFT ARROW + G for a few seconds... making sure it is flat. Now it works great.
I'm having some weird issues with some misbehaving apps. Root explorer started freaking out. And now my FPse won't use OpenGL for the life of me. I'm interested in trying the CM10 build for it but the operation requirements are bland. Supposedly it requires CWM recovery, which is supplied but doesn't give specifics how or what order or process to get it done.
I have to say that it is a fun unit to work with and chews through FPse roms. I'm surprised how well it runs for a chinese chipset.
Flashing is a bit of a chore and instructions aren't very clear, so I'll post them here:
With the unit OFF:
Insert a paper clip into the reset hole and press it in and HOLD IT down.
Awkwardly insert the MicroUSB-PC cable into the OTG. This will power the unit and it should boot into Flash mode given you've held the paperclip down properly.
Trying to install eGalax Touch Screen linux driver
I'm trying to install the eGalax Touch Screen driver for Linux 2.6 that came with my liliput 7 inch touch screen. The touch screen is for use in my car. Using the mk802 II or ug808 to replace my audio system. I just need to get the driver installed. The driver installation script is looking for the locations "usr/local" and "usr/bin", but the only "usr" directory I can find is in "system/usr"... I'm not sure if I should use that location and create the local and bin directories there or not. But when I created the usr/local and usr/bin at the same level as system (which is in the "mnt" directory which is also at the same level as "root" directory (btw, I cannot find a "home" directory), the install seemed to work fine using Better Terminal Pro android app with the bash shell. However, when I restarted the device, the "usr" directory that I create was gone, so the driver install was wiped apparently, and the usb HDMI touch screen still does not work... I can post the bash script if that helps. This is the last thing I need to get this to work, then I can have a full Android ICS system in my car. Thanks in advance.
FYI The HDMI works great to view and use a usb mouse or the RII keyboard. they work great. It's just the touch screen input does not work. It used to when I first turned on the device with the touch screen on, but the x-y coordinates were reversed, hence attempting to install the driver. I have ICS compiled from source and may attempt to add the drivers into it and create an img to them load on the mk802 II, but I fear that I'll loose any proprietary hardware drivers that came with the mk802 II.
I also wanted to make a img backup using ROM Manager, but ClockworkMod is not available for the MK802 II. ANy leads on this would help. Been researching and testing this for a month now.

Ordered on the 26th for 65$ (actually cost £42 through paypal),
they shipped on the 29th (tracking never worked).
And it arrived on the 6th. So quicker than expected.
I've applied the firmware update which was a slightly newer build of 4.1. Mentioned in both these places (applied the tweaked one from deadhp1 for the play store location fix in case needed)

It now seems to play any avi / mkv / mp4 i've given it (usually on a usb stick or micro SD). It happily plays avi's over the network (using ES file explorer).
Its definitely better than the out of sync UG802 which wasn't quite right and the power lead came out too easily.
I use the custom stock video app (seems to come with most of the RockChip devices) and MX player (it looks a lot nicer)
I was looking for a device like this one and the reviews are really helpful
Anyone know of GPS that works with these?

So confused... it's a USB drive that turns a TV into an Android PC? Does the TV require any special functionality to allow for that?

It is a mini PC that has HDMI output. Your TV must have a vacant HDMI input so you can plug the mini PC into it. My TV supports 1080p. And so I can set the output resolution on the mini PC to 1080p. But it also could be set to 720p as well. These don't come with any display so you have to plug it in to your TV or a monitor that supports HDMI. The audio is pushed through the HDMI as well. To control it you can use a USB mouse and/or USB keyboard. Your cheap wireless mouse will work but the USB ports do not have power to them so I've had to use a powered USB hub to make my wireless keyboard work further than a foot away from the USB dongle for the keyboard. The hub also allows you to plug in other devices like a USB camera. But the ones that work are somewhat limited , be aware. Does that help you understand it?

probably you will need the kernel sources. also, you need root access. that error (directories that get lost after reboot) might be due to yo need to remount the /system partition in rw mode (by default is ro) and perhaps you will neet to do some symlinks on /bin to /system/xbin.
other thing you..must get in considwration is that android is different from linux.. and that you might need to compile the kernel module, such thiing im not sure that is posible from within the device itself...
or.. i just might be way off track, in which case jyst dismiss my answer

just so you know it doesn't have built in bluetooth.
if you need bluetooth google for imito mx1. this one seems to be the best mk808 model so far. i got mine last month but haven't tried bluetooth yet. antutu gives a score around 6500. it's a nice toy to play with on bigscreen tvs.
I read up on this one. Good vid review at http://youtu.be/X8pozwuAq7w
Anyone know the spec diff between this and the MX2?
and is geekbuying the best seller for this device or ???

---------- Post added at 11:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 AM ----------
can anyone comment on this non-support of XBMC for Rockchip? and if not Rockchip, which stick-PC gets it right?
one comment also that I would like more info on is that both iMITO units underperform compared to MK808
"Lack of XBMC support for HD hardware acceleration is a major issue that Rockchip needs to address if they want to keep selling SoC chips to the Stick PC mfgrs. Stick PC makers need 2 take action on this as well and if Rockchip won't play ball, they need to consider alternative SoC. We need more processing power anyway to get close to current smart-phone level and play the latest 3D games."
FRIGGIN CHAMPION GENIUS IDEA of scottsdca
get Settings.apk from here:
http://www.glassxe.com/2013/05/23/s...-from-the-hacking-glass-session-at-google-io/
UPDATE: original article is gone. check archive.org if you want to read it. but you can still get the Settings.apk here
don't bother with the Launcher2, all it does is crash immediately. although if you have a thing for apps that crash immediately, well then there you go. could be it's a year old and maybe we need to try a 4.2 launcher.
like the article mentions, nearly all of the Settings stuff just crashes (plus, some of it I'd be scared to mess with anyway for fear of messing up spamazon settings)
I don't have any 4.2 devices (aside from ~ firetv obvs), but if anyone else does (like standard-ish non-weird device... e.g. generic tablet or phone?) - would you mind pulling settings and launcher apks please? they might be more suitable and less crashy...
I haven't done much but so far I have a bluetooth speaker paired, connected, and WORKING - sound is coming out the BT speaker and not my TV.
even fired up PrimeTV and sound was as normal, only it was the BT speaker.
xbmc? darn right the sound is coming perfectly out of the BT speaker.
now I turned off the BT speaker, and sound is coming out the TV again. seamless as it should be.
turned the speaker back on, and it autoconnected, all fireTV audio is back on the BT speaker again.
no luck with BT keyboard just yet, and have other settings to still mess with...
(also: the spamazon settings are all still there and all still work as before)
slightly more useless info:
it seems like anything that needs a PIN code still doesn't work.
which is hilarious for 2 reasons:
- the PS3/BD remote does not use a PIN. but so far every android device I have, asks for a PIN for it. the workaround app for anything up to android 4.1.x (i.e. bluez) is great. but firetv is 4.2 and that app doesn't work with the new bluedroid.
- my BT speaker that is currently working (BEM Cube), also does not use any PIN. but it is different somehow, in that android understands in this case, and pairs without asking for any PIN.
Settings shows the BEM Cube's profile as media audio, as expected.
if I try to pair my BT keyboard, the firetv BT settings gives me a PIN to type on the kbd. but the firetv pairing dialog sits there waiting forever no matter how many times I type ####+Enter on the kbd.
if I try to pair my phone, both the phone and the firetv pop up a dialog with matching numbers, but after I press OK on both dialogs, nothing happens. (sometimes the phone says incorrect / missing PIN, afterward. but not always)
if I try to pair my Supertooth Disco speaker, the firetv asks me for a PIN. in this case the PIN is most definitely 0000. but after entering that, nothing happens. not even any error message.
so it seems to be a generic passcode issue? I haven't looked at logcat yet...
I really wanted to try the Disco because it has some extra controls on it. the BEM Cube only has Play/Pause - which does work correctly in both xbmc and PrimeTV.
addition: I found my crappy old Arctic P311 headset (audio has 0.5s lag on every single desktop, laptop, console, phone, etc. I ever tried it on, that's how cheap+awful it is.) - it also happens to be PIN-less (in the good way like the BEM, not the bad way like the BD remote. whatever the hell that means.), and it paired right away with firetv. and then connected with no problem. it has a play/pause button, and also ff + rewind buttons. all the buttons worked as expected in PrimeTV and xbmc. whee.
also, the P311 shows up in Settings with both a media audio profile, and a phone audio profile. nice.
///
after a ton of times connecting/disconnecting the Cube (only because it was stupid fun and made me smile for some reason), started to get a few sound artifacts, some out of sync a/v, and eventually no sound at all on BT (but still perfectly normal sound on HDMI). probably also worth a look at logcat. I also wonder if all the messing around with the other BT devices that all failed, caused any instability.
restarting BT seemed to clean up the audio weirdnesses -
the settings app WILL let you turn BT off and on, just be careful lol. it scared the heck out of me the first time.
- turn BT off. BT goes off. settings app crashes. uh oh! wtf am I gonna do?
- run settings app again. toggle BT on. settings app crashes. oh no! am I seriously screwed now?!
- run settings app again. BT button is blue/on! waow! Thank Crom!

'developer options' was the very first thing I tried - sorry, no dice (
it, and most of the other settings items, only crash the app.
the only things that work (or semi-work), are:
bluetooth
sound (changing the ringtones is ok, but trying the volume setting crashes)
display (didn't try any of these)
battery (uh huh)
location services (uh huh)
security (but no way am I touching any of those)
dock (yeah, no...)
date&time (it's right, why mess with it)
about phone (tells us stuff we already know)
I haven't really tried to change anything in any of those (except bluetooth obvs) - nothing terribly useful to change, so, to me, nothing else there worth the risk of breaking anything.
the unknown sources box is usually found under security not developer options, but that may crash too

duh me, ugh. yeah you are totally right.
ok, so it is there on the security subsection if I scroll to the bottom.

no worries it was definitely worth a try.
ok.
so.
I just had a really stupid idea.
even worse, it actually works. but not sure it's worth making a separate post about.
1. turn on adb wifi debugging
2. sideload your favorite terminal, e.g.
http://jackpal.github.com/Android-Terminal-Emulator/downloads/Term.apk
3. fire up said terminal
4. adb connect localhost
(LOL!)
5. profit? profit!
$ adb -s localhost:5555 install foobarbaz.apk
$ adb -s localhost:5555 shell
...
not as quick or classy as unknown sources, but you can do it all within the firetv and don't need an extra phone or computer. so... kinda not too bad?
///
edit:
the reason I use "-s localhost:5555" is that in some cases the firetv already had an existing device listed, "emulator-5554". which may have been the result of not disconnecting adb from my laptop, or just the fooling around I was doing running adbd and adb on the same device, or...?
once you are in the terminal app, run "adb devices" first. if it already shows emulator-5554, then you don't need to connect a second time and can just use adb normally. if it does not show any existing device, then you do need to "adb connect localhost" but then in that case you should not need to specify "-s whatever" and also just use adb normally.

I tried pairing a keyboard and got a PIN dialog on the FireTV, but entering the PIN on the keyboard failed. adb logcat showed that the pairing request had been cancelled immediately after the dialog appeared. Perhaps some Amazon modification to the low-level Bluetooth stuff? Interestingly, despite being 4.2 based, Amazon are still using the BlueZ stack rather than Google's own implementation.

It is my understanding that Android now tries to auto guess the PIN to make pairing simpler. Perhaps the pin on your cube is 0000 or 1234, the standard pins, hence the non need to pin pair it.

Hi,
Every one the settings apk does work and you can check the unknown sources box to allow installation of any apk without sideloading!!
You need the settings.apk and you have to tweak a system app. Cant give out all my secrets but it works I can install apks from any market, drop box or even when downloading from a web browser.
Fire TV is the stuff!!! Hope fire tv 2.0 offers HD audio and 4k compatibility and of course more memory :good:

Just got my favi bluetooth keyboard and I used side loaded settings app to pair. It works great it has backlights and has android hot keys. i.e. home, back, and menu. The mouse pad works good for those apps that you can't navigate with remote very good. I highly recommend this i got mine refurbished for 25$ on amazon. Model # FE02BT-BL and here is link if interested.

I have an off brand that looks identical to that one. I could never get mine to pair because it needed a pairing code that I could never get to work. Did it require you to type in a code on the keyboard?

Looks like there are few other members have the same problem. It only works on the stick, not box
Thanks
You can get this one at Amazon (FAVI FE02RF-BL Mini 2.4GHz Wireless PC / Tablet Keyboard Designed for SmartStick): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0090BTY8Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.
Same form factor but comes with a bluetooth dongle. No need to pair. I have two.

I tried with USB as well but it did not work. I talked to Favi support and they offered to exchange mine for a new FAVI FE02RF-BL. That's nice
fe02btbl not pairing with fire stick
I bought fav after seeing this thread..but im not able to see it on settings screen.
It seems to work fine with my s3.
You need to launch the settings.apk app you side loaded the go to the bluetooth section and activate it with your remote to search for devices to pair.

Yes. Bluetooth is enabled in the new settings app but still doesnt detect the favi kb
New software updates for the Fire TV and Fire TV Stick have been rolling out since July 1st. I haven't fully analyzed them yet to uncover all the changes, but we do know that apps and games can now be marked as "Favorites" in order to bring them to the front of your app/game list. Full overview of everything that has changed to come. Let us know if you notice any changes yourself.
Fire TV version 51.1.6.0_user_516009820 - Download Link
Fire TV Stick version 54.1.2.0_user_120060220 - Download Link
Attention @rbox
Could you please check if its possible also to set sideloaded apps as favorite? THX in advance.
Still using Anroid 4.2.2 so the update is a major fail. Any updates for the Fire TV that do not run Android 4.4+ will all be failures. Sure they may fix bugs or simplify the default launcher, but til they upgrade to at least Android 4.4 aall updates wil be worthless. They can add all the featurs to the Fire TV that they want, but it will never be as good as it could be unless they ugrade to a newer version of Android. Compatibiity issues are nonsense this day in ag with Android and I am hving several comptibility issues with the Fire TV all because Amazon refuses to upgrade the Fire TV t at lest Android 4.4. A month ago when the news of fire OS 5.0 came out I predicted that the Fire TV would not be running it in ten months and I hve nine months left to prove everone wrong that said I was wrong. Wait and see, nine months from now the Fire tablets and the Fire Phone will be running FireOS 5.0, but the Fire TV will be running either 4.2.2, 4.3 or if a miracle happens it might be running Android 4.4. I love the Fire TV and I am not jumping ship, but the Fire TV can not do what it should be doing if Amazon is not going to upgrade it to Android 4.4 I do not care about root or mods, but I do care about compatibilty issues, and more and more things are becoming incompatible with Android 4.2.2 and 4.3. Come on amazon, step it up and give us what we should've already had six months ago.
Nice update! Really looking forward to the shopping feature. Wonder if this feature will go live on July 15th with "Prime day"?
Looking forward to a flashable version of this.

No, only those downloaded from their App Store can be set as favorite.
You go into either "Games" or "Apps" to pick which ones you want to favorite, which brings them to the front of the Recent list in "Home" or the other mentioned sections.
Another change is they've added in the storage bar in Applications > Manage Installed Apps, now sit at the bottom of the screen.

Seems a new Fire TV Stick may be on the way running Lollipop 5.1 - http://liliputing.com/2015/07/amazons-next-gen-fire-tv-stick-may-be-coming-soon.html
This one will likely be left in the dark forever run on 4.2.2
Well, here is something...
For the longest time, when I hooked my Fire TV Box via Optical Audio to my Pioneer Elite VSX-21 (circa 1999-2000), SPMC/Kodi set for pass through did give me Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS (and show icons for each speaker). However, with the box set for Dolby Digital over Optical when playing movies from Amazon Instant, Netflix and Plex my Pioneer would always display only Dolby ProLogic (no speaker icons, indicating 2ch audio).
It looks like the v51.1.6.0 fixed that.
Today, playing a movie via Amazon Instant, I noticed Dolby Digital led on the receiver along with icons for each speaker.. Same with Netflix.
Plex however gives me no audio when playing movies from my server, but did give me stereo audio when playing a TV show via CBS channel in Plex.

Seems like just wild guess, and what spoils it is that there would be zero reason to put and accelerometor in an Android stick, which tells me that its not a new fire TV stick. I am sure there will be a new Fire TV stick at some point, but the page you gave the link to is 100% not a new Fire TV stick. You shold never link people to pages with unconfirmed info.
First up, it features WiFi and Bluetooth, but no GPS, compass, accelerometer, light sensor, camera, or SIM card. You’d expect most phones, tablets or other Android devices to have at least a few of those things.

Not sure what your reading but it states clearly it does NOT have an accelerometer inside, only bluetooth & wifi are ticked, certainly fits the bill of being a Fire TV Stick of some kind going off the other specs (or lack of), guess we'll just have to wait and see...
This is the page the article is about - https://gfxbench.com/device.jsp?benchmark=gfx31&os=Android&api=gl&D=Amazon+AFTS&testgroup=info

The specs fit the billing for many devices. Who knows it could be a new type of device, or it could be a tablet. Til there is proof the articles are just people making wild guesses. Like I said, go back and look at all of Amazons tablets and yo will be amazed at the features some of them do not have that almost every tablet mae by other companies do. They even took the gamble of leaving cameras out the first Fire HD tablet. Amazon does strange things with their devices. They have left rear cameras of some of their tablets and said their study shows that people do not use rear cameras on their tablets then released the next tablet with a rear camera. they have left out HDMI ports saying people with tablets barely use them then for some reason released other tabets with HDMI ports. I would not rule out that the device is a tablet at all. Its very likely that it could be a budget tablet. Their newer tablets have been getting more expensive compared to their older ones so it could be a cheap tablet.

And what would these sonsors be good for on an mediaplayer device?
GPS? I know where my TV is.
Compass? My TV doesn't change its direction so often.
Accelerometer? I hope it never falls off the wall.
Light Sensor? For a divice without display?
Camera? Would be nice for skype but better use an external one.
SIM card?
So where is the point?
Hmmmm and off topic anyway .. Sorry for that.

Yes, proof that this is likely the next generation FireTV or Stick, and not another phone or tablet from Amazon.
i've been unable to 'adb connect' to my unrooted fire tv box since around the time it received the latest update. i've rebooted several times - computer and fire tv. no luck. can anyone else confirm or deny this with their box? maybe something funky going on with my routers...
Probably you need to re-enable the ADB debugging within the FireTV System > Developer Options.

thanks, but i already checked that. i even tried turning it off, restarting, turning it on, restarting again. still can't adb connect to my box.
Probably the IP changed. Had this one time that my router assigned another IP than the regulary IP to the AFTV.
again, thanks for trying. firetv has a static IP. it has not changed. my router shows that the firetv is connected with the IP it is supposed to have. everything on my firetv works. i can't ping the firetv from my computer but maybe that is normal. i never tried before when adb connect was working. i tried doing a port scan from computer using nmap but it doesn't see the firetv at all. i feel like i'm losing my mind.
---------- Post added at 11:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 AM ----------
well, i've got adb connect working again. i told firetv to forget the network then i re-added it. this time i didn't specify IP/subnet/etc. i let it get it all from DHCP. now adb connect works. weird.
I just purchased a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado and it has the refresh interior. This includes a 14.1" android tablet as the radio.
This device is running Android 10. I have enabled developer settings, but can't seem to get any devices to pick it up in adb mode.
I've tried with my phone (wireless) and with my computer (wired).
I'm trying to side load some applications to it.
Can some one help me in this forum?
Thanks in advance
We're you able to make any progress on this ?

Unfortunately not. I've never had any issues doing this with android devices. Any advice would be appreciated
Darn... I havent been able to either.
I was really hoping to be able to sideload some basic apps since this is more or less an Android tablet in the truck.
Any luck on this

Which android stick did you end up going with? Also does it work in full screen?
I tried one from Amazon but it only works through apple carplay so it only shows on 2/3 of the display.

Hey, this is kind of a stupid question but.....along similar kinda thought, when I connect my phone via USB to my car, is there a way I could see and change the stock parameters in the sound system to something more like my liking. I use wavelet with my phone and when I plug in with USB in the car to drive even the car is effected. Without the wavelet it doesn't sound the same. I'm wanting to see if I can somehow do that so I don't gotta plug my phone in with wavelet. Cause sometimes wavelet acts funny.

I am using the M-Stick MG-S01 off Amazon.
It don't show the whole screen but most. It's also not the greatest, but it works for the most part. Which one are you using?
I was able to get ADB to recognize this system. However I get the error from android ADB tools "The Secure ADB mode is enabled. Please use the GM Secure ADB Client tool to authenticate first." I am looking for a way around this. Any ideas?
Also note I have firefox and airscreen(airplay mirroring) working in the GM emulator so if only ADB worked we could be having so much fun.

I also have a refresh Silverado and just tried a CarPlay box, how did you get it to go almost full screen? Mine still shows the side scroll menu with the clock and media player
I'm assuming you know how to activate developer mode by going
Touch "Settings"->"About"->"Build number"->then tap the white file name several times and it will count down how many taps it takes to enable it.
Still trying to figure out how to sideload apps if anyone has made any progress.
